Will Cuff Repair surgery be painful?
Be prepared to take your tablets regularly for the first 2 weeks and after this time only as required. If stronger tablets are required or if you know you cannot take Paracetamol or anti-inflammatories talk to your GP. The amount of pain you will experience will vary and each person is different. Therefore take whatever pain relief you need.
What are the alternatives?
You probably have tried most of the alternative solutions for your shoulder pain before considering surgery. Not all these options are appropriate for all people. They include:
- Modifying activity and sport to avoid the pain.
- Taking painkillers and/or anti-inflammatory tablets.
- Cortisone injections.
- Physiotherapy and other allied specialities such as acupuncture and osteopathy.
- Seeking the advice of a sports professional
